The Sentinel Presents – The View from The Edge

Designed for spaceholders in every area of life, this retreat invites those who support others to step into a deeper level of clarity, presence, and service.

Inspired by the words of Shams de Tabriz, the experience centers on the wisdom of emptiness, freedom, and living with less attachment to identity and outcome. It is the third edition of a retreat created from the ground up to support healers, retreat facilitators, and other guides with simple, powerful, and proven methods that can serve both personal growth and professional practice.

Led by a master coach, philosopher, speaker, counsellor, facilitator, trainer, management consultant, Olympic athlete, and transformation specialist, the program draws on more than 20 years of experience supporting teams, coaches, businesses, artists, and healers. Since founding the Innerland Institute in 2003, the facilitator has offered a deeply compassionate and incisive approach to getting to the heart of any situation.

This retreat is especially suited to:

• Yoga teachers
• Plant spirit medicine ceremonialists
• Therapists and counsellors
• Life coaches
• Integration-focused facilitators
• Heart-centered practitioners
• Men’s and women’s work leaders
• Relational therapists
• Anyone working in the healing arts

Throughout the retreat, participants will learn and practice IBC (Inquiry-Based Coaching), the wisdom of Zerospace, a personal approach to Parts Work inspired by Internal Family Systems, and Heart Alchemy. Together, these methods create a practical framework for bringing more freedom, purpose, and clarity into your life and into the lives of those you serve.

The program is designed to offer structure, accountability, and meaningful development, while also helping you weave these tools into your current work with ease. You will be guided to explore the deeper layers of your inner world, meet the parts that shape your experience, and soften the barriers that limit inner freedom. At the same time, you will learn how to integrate these approaches into your existing practice in a skillful and accessible way.

A sacred space for exploration, ceremony, and connection will be held throughout, allowing for community support, personal reflection, and shared transformation. A guided empathogenic ceremony is also included to deepen the process.

What you will explore

• How to identify obstacles, beliefs, and old mental patterns that limit your experience
• How these patterns are unconsciously reinforced
• The effect of those beliefs on daily life and decision-making
• What becomes possible when limiting stories begin to dissolve
• How to enter Zerospace and move toward transformative action
• How to apply these tools within your own path of service

Through Parts Work, you will recognize yourself as a luminous system made of parts, examine the assumptions and traumas that have shaped them, and meet them with compassionate curiosity. Through healing and reintegration, these parts can be updated in alignment with your true purpose, supporting greater wholeness in your relationships and systems.

Through Heart Alchemy, you will explore love and authenticity as the highest human vibration, using the heart as a crucible for transforming fear into love, love into trust, and trust into service. The alchemical stages of dissolution, coagulation, crystallization, and integration offer a meaningful map for turning existential pain into gold.

This retreat is also a time for rest and renewal. Spaceholders give so much, and this experience is designed to help you slow down, recharge, and return to your practice feeling replenished, inspired, and better resourced. It is an invitation to step away from daily demands and reconnect with a deeper source of nourishment and inspiration.

Whether your path is in yoga, plant medicine, counselling, or life coaching, this retreat offers tools to support both your evolution and the people you serve. If this offering speaks to you, you are warmly invited to join this magical deep dive.
